Harvest Moon Cocktail (PTD's recipe) 4.5/5 [NEW]With: Straight rye whiskey, Lillet Blanc, calvados, Green Chartreuse and Abbott's bitters.We say: Stirred down and boozy - very boozy, especially when made with bonded rye and applejack (as per the original recipe). However, the drinks apple notes coupled with the subtle herbal complexity of Chartreuse combine wonderfully in this potent rye whisky based after dinner sipper.

Hula Hula or Hoola-Hoola Cocktail 4/5 [UPDATED]With: Gin, orange curaçao and orange juice.We say: Said by many to date from 1934 and to have been created by Ray Buhen, one of Don The Beachcomber's original bartenders. In 1961 Ray opened his own Tiki-Ti Bar in Los Angeles, which today is run by his son and grandson. However, this recipe (spelt Hoola-Hoola) comes from Harry of Ciro's ABC of Mixing Cocktails, published in London in 1923, ten years before Donn Beach opened his Don's Beachcomber bar in Hollywood. So, obviously, Ray Buhen did not create the Hula Hula - although he may have been responsible for changing the spelling and popularising it.

Pineapple Caipirinha 4.5/5 [New]With: Lime, sugar, pineapple and cachaça.We say: Natural acids from the pineapple make this more tart in flavour than some other fruit Caipirinhas, those with a sweet tooth may want to add an extra ½ spoon of sugar.

Scandinavian Daiquiri 4.5/5 [NEW]With: Aquavit, lime juice and sugar syrup.We say: A caraway influenced riff on a daiquiri with aquavit replacing rum. Very refreshing and suited to a summer's afternoon, or early evening aperitif.
